 The F-22 Stealth Fighter Has 1 Almost Fatal Flaw It Can't Fix
Story by Harrison Kass • 23h


Summary and Key Points: The F-22 Raptor, the world’s first operational fifth-generation fighter, remains a top air superiority aircraft despite halting production in 2011 after only 195 units.

-Developed during the Cold War as part of the Advanced Tactical Fighter program, the F-22 featured groundbreaking technology and stealth capabilities.
 
-However, post-Cold War budget cuts led to the end of its production.

-As the U.S. Air Force shifts focus to the Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) program, the F-22 will eventually be phased out.

-Aviation enthusiasts should seize the opportunity to witness this technological marvel at airshows before it retires.

That's fewer than the F-35.

Lockheed gets a bigger markup on F-35s than they get for F-22s.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

Since the F-22 has been out of production for over 10 years, Boeing gets zero mark-up on it.

I read through the article twice, and the only “almost fatal flaw” I saw was that it was expensive and Congress didn’t want to spend the $$.

I am not and never have been a leftist.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

I guess congress listened to their puppet masters, China and Russia, and defunded it. :whistle:

I bet Ukraine would take those F-22 Raptors ... and A-10 Warthogs ... and all the other American flight platforms whose pre-mature obituaries have been written by F-35 proponents.

We'll never know until the next hot conflict.
